An AI presentation maker you pay for once
Most AI slide tools are monthly plans. Here you make 3 decks a day free, and if you need more you buy a one-time pack — nothing renews, nothing to cancel.

Why pay once instead of monthly?
- Most people make decks in bursts — a project, finals week, a pitch round — not every week
- No renewal to cancel and no charge in a month you don't use it
- Credits never expire, so a pack can last a semester or a year
- The free 3 decks a day keep working on top of a pack — credits are only used after the free ones
What a pack adds
- 20 AI decks for $4.90, or 60 for $9.90
- Up to 25 slides per deck (free: 12)
- The AI reads long documents and PDFs — about 60,000 characters (~35 pages)
- Same editable PPTX and PDF export, no watermark — export was already free
Good to know
- There is no account, so credits are tied to the browser you buy them in — buy on the device you make decks on
- Payment is a single card charge through Stripe; nothing is saved for renewals
- Decks use clean typographic layouts rather than AI images; add your own images in PowerPoint or Keynote

Yes. Slidebrew has no subscription: 3 AI decks a day are free, and more decks come in one-time packs — $4.90 for 20 or $9.90 for 60 — with credits that never expire. PPTX and PDF downloads are free on every deck.
Is there a pay-once AI PowerPoint generator?
Yes. Slidebrew generates editable .pptx files and sells decks in one-time packs instead of a monthly plan. A deck costs about $0.17–$0.25 with PowerPoint export included.

No. Credits stay in your browser until you use them.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes — make up to 3 decks a day free, no sign-up or card, and download them as PPTX or PDF.
What happens when my credits run out?
Nothing is charged. You go back to the free 3 decks a day, and you can buy another pack whenever you want.
